Currently it is in the evaluation process, but from what I hear from a couple of people I know within the company and are very much familiar with the situation the evaluation process was completed about 2 months ago and they will definitly be going with NCs. The current evaluation is as who they should buy the NCs from. I am not sure who they end up buying it from but I have this strong feeling and am very confident it will be from Sun. If you want a buy a premium original rug and are willing to spend good money on it, would you rather that rug be a Persian rug, or made in North Dakota?!

You state:
> Can you give the source of the announcement?

Unfortunately I do not have the actual news story anymore, but I am confident it was posted here on this thread about a month ago by someone else. And I think it was also posted on some other thread (either ESST, LSI, or SIII, dont remember which one). I try to find it again and if I do I will re-post it here.

You state:
> Does it buy them from Sun?

As I said it would be similar to buying a Persian rug and buying a North Dakotian Rug! Therefore, I believe they will end up buying them from Sun, however even if they decide not to buy it from Sun (a very unlikely situation), they will definitly buy the servers supporting the NCs from Sun. In either case it will be a great gain for Sun.
